INDONESIA is satisfied Australia will never again use its spies and surveillance to its neighbour's detriment, believing a new agreement will &quot;change the business model&quot; of intelligence.

THE signing of the Joint Understanding on a Code of Conduct signals the resumption of co-operation on military, people-smuggling and policing that was suspended in November last year after revelations Australia had eavesdropped on the mobile phones of Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, his wife, and close confidants.
